Next month, I will be traveling to visit my family members abroad many of whom I have not seen in years. After much pondering, I have decided to take a break from my daily inspirational quote posting.

It was a hard decision on multiple levels. In the end, I decided to focus on what was before me rather than spend countless hours finding quotes, making posts, and scheduling posts.

Instead, I will focus on my loved ones and I will put social media aside to concentrate on the relationships.

See you in November!
